By Soliu Arowolo Adam
Is being a female a crime ?
Why the threat on our gender ?
Fragile like snow, yet treated unfairly by the world
Is it a crime to wear the gender we are made of ?
The earth under our feet is becoming strange
Walking during the day with heart beating abnormal;
For rapists are thirsty for our hymens
Why the Earth becomes so impure ?
At night, under our thatched roof
Sweat and tears in combat on our body
For monsters in the skin of human are hunting for us
Where then can we be safe to breath free ?
In this land:
To give out voice is a crime for the females
Sexual harassment, domestic violence and injustice is the anthem
Are we made to die of cruelty in this land ?
